Ingredient Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats - for this recipe, you will need old-fashioned rolled oats. Don't use quick oats, steel-cut oats, or quick cooking oats for this recipe, as the texture won't be the same.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt - we love to use vanilla flavored yogurt for this recipe, but you could also use blueberry Greek yogurt or plain Greek yogurt (however if you use plain yogurt, we would recommend adding a little more maple syrup or honey). No need to add protein powder! Greek yogurt is a great source of protein to start your day. You will need 1 cup of yogurt. The individual containers of Greek yogurt (such as Chobani) typically have 3/4 cup of yogurt in them for reference. If you need a dairy-free option, simply use a dairy-free yogurt such as coconut yogurt.
- Chia seeds - chia seeds are a great addition to overnight oats as they provide a great texture and nutrition benefits such as fiber and fatty acids.
- Milk of choice - use your favorite type of milk for this recipe. We like to use almond milk, but you can choose your favorite non-dairy milk such as oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk. You can also use regular cow's milk.
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla - just a 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to up the vanilla flavor.
- Honey or pure maple syrup
- Fresh blueberries
- Graham crackers

Tips & Variations
- Feel free to top with other fresh fruit such as raspberries or strawberries to make a strawberry cheesecake overnight oats.
- If you are a fan of a more tangy cheesecake flavor, you can add some tangy cream cheese to the oat mixture to make a cream cheese cheesecake swirl. You can use regular or light cream cheese.
- A little bit of lemon zest or lemon juice would also provide a great tang.
- If you want to mix up the flavor a little bit, an easy way to do this is to add a dollop of peanut butter to the oat mixture and give it a good stir.
- We think this recipe provides the best texture for overnight oats, however if you find that is too thick you can add a bit of extra liquid (milk of choice). If it's too thin, you may have too much liquid. In that case you could add a little bit more oats or chia seeds.
- Feel free to add any other favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, nuts or nut butter, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of ground flax seed.
